Help needed please! My 1998 4.7L GT cranks but won't start. This is a sudden occurrance. I drove the Mustang into the garage, left town for a long trip, and returned to find a truly dead battery. I recharged the battery and then attempted to start. The engine cranks and cranks but I don't get any ignition. I've gone through the disarm sequence for the factory anti-theft, and done the same dance with my aftermarket Clifford Avantguard III alarm. I've also checked the fuel pump reset switch but it seems fine. For the life of me, I don't know what to do. I'm out of ideas and I hate the thought of getting a tow to a dealer. I'll be vastly grateful if anyone can guide me to a solution.

Many Thanks,
BWS

Try looking at any fuses. That happend to my friend, we were driving (in a 98gt) and it just died....cranked but not started. i looked at his fuel pump switch but it was ok....turns out it was his fuel pump fuse. So take alook in ur manual and look up the fuses and what is what and take a look. Normally it will look burnt if it is burnt out. goodluck

It might be your IAC going bad... I recommend replacing it. But here is a link that you MAY find useful! =D

IAC (Idle Air Control)

i doubt it's the IAC, if it was he would just have to put his foot on the gas and it would fire right up. i think its most likey an electrical issue
